I'd give everything to see Jon Hopkins collaborating with Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm live!!

[@benjameek]

This would be the best!

[@Andy99silva1]

Thanks for the recommendations.☺️ I'll listen to them

[@Jonathan-ff4wo]

Amen! I play this game of fantasy musician match-making all the time. A world tour of post-classical pianists like Olafur/Nils/Hopkins should also have Brian Eno. I'd also throw in Imogen heap/a choir for occasional vocals, and Guy Sigsworth for the odds and ends of mixing/production. sounds so awesome in my head.

[@eileentomarchio6213]

Hell, let’s toss in Radiohead ❤️

[@tarkineWild]

Dont forget Luke Howard

[@ryanmortimer9849]

I had the pleasure of being in the crowd at the Sydney Opera House the night before this was filmed, where Jon Hopkins opened with Scene Suspended for its first live performance. My favourite artist in what is now my favourite venue. A really special evening!

[@chris1983charmer]

He opened for Coldplay few years ago collaborating with them for few songs midnight and adventure of a lifetime and couple others .wires and monsters theme from movie he did with same name and track called wire mesmerising

[@JoeyJoeJoe87]

This is the most captivating performance I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. I feel this music encapsulates the dichotomy of this worldwide crisis we are all facing, poetic justice. Mr Hopkins we salute you

[@DennisRadaelli]

So touching. I close my eyes during the listening and I feel the peace. The calmness.
What a wonderful piece of music.

[@SydneyOperaHouse]

Sending you all the calmness

[@tomwalke7361]

I visited the opera house on the day my wife and I found out we were expecting our first child. This video takes me right back to that day, especially watching it with my son. Absolutely wonderful performance.

[@SydneyOperaHouse]

This is lovely. So glad it stirred up some happy memories

[@manuelrioslopez]

This piece makes me feel so many contrasting emotions as it is really reflective and melancholic but at the same time cathartic and encouraging, puts me in a good mood every time

[@paolahighflyingbird]

My heaven is to listen to Mr. Jon Hopkins... I love this genius man ♥️

[@mentallentil]

Beautiful. And that boat engine adding a subtle drone fits.

[@timdowns7937]

Jon, for me you have summed up the whole past 12 months for me in this one peace of music. Beautiful!

[@meokbye]

I've said it before I'll say it again.....a Mozart or Beethoven of our time.......simply wonderful,captivating and always emotional.....

[@eileentomarchio6213]

A salve for the soul these trying times. ❤️

[@trentbildstein5610]

It's amazing the albums he creates and then to see him do this as well. Not that it needs to be said, but he's just such and incredibly talented person.

[@filmcomposerable]

Astonishing composition and great soul Jon!

[@mickaelyip496]

How beautiful

[@arminmilad]

If he ain't ingenious, I don't know how's he?! Absolutely blown away ♥️

[@frankbrochard8248]

magnifique

[@indigoharp3120]

[@SydneyOperaHouse]

Thank you Indigo, we're very happy to share some magic in these strange times

[@zachroetker4505]

Beautiful. Thank you

[@dimitritavshavadze5042]

[@KotoBish]

[@BenWeeks]

Would love a wide exterior drone shot slowly pushing in.

[@JoshMilch]

Agreed - that would've been epic

[@kansaspottery]

seriously - how is it possible to get sheet music for this?

[@diarmuidobrien1]

I’ve been trying to track down the sheet music for this with no luck, anybody got any suggestions or advice?

[@weishenglau4220]

Probably not going to be any sheet music on this - Jon's music isn't mainstream enough for people to want to transcribe sheet music for this. Though of course you are free to do so yourself.

[@peitzza]

Someone one good enough to post an arrangement on MuseScore.

[@PhilMyu]

Not sure if it helps, but there’s a tutorial on YT that helped me learn this piece: th-cam.com/video/64gp72ap6U8/w-d-xo.html In the description also seems to be a link to a Fiverr account that sells the sheet music.

[@cde9793]

pretty good.

[@eisamohandesdastgerdy7722]

hey guys, which song do you suggest similar to singularity or collider by Jon Hopkins?

[@decibel0746]

Emerald rush is pretty similar with it's thumping beats!

[@eisamohandesdastgerdy7722]

@Al4critous thanks dude I've been looking for some suggestions anywhere including Quora but they didn't match what I really meant by similarity LOL

[@Em-gj2sg]

We disappear

[@konophototv]

[@philipbarker1021]

Brilliant. But honestly lugging that piano up they're for one song? There must be more? 🤷‍♂️🙏

[@lakeshore2698]

I might be in love with you... Lol

[@sophiawebb7097]

Same here lol !
